Conversion Tracking, differentiating between 'Leads' and 'Sales'

    Hi guys,

    I have been asked to add the javascript code for conversion tracking to a website. They need to be able to see the number of enquiries (leads) they get compared to the number of bookings/reservations (sales).

    I have added the 'lead' and 'sale' labels to the code, and specified the sale amount (a lead is classed as 1, a sale could be 1-2000).

    The value of the conversions is working well, I made a £1200 booking, and a customer made an enquiry, so the reports show £1201 conversion value. However the number of sales and leads are both 0, when conversions in general are 2.

    What am I doing wrong for google to not count the number of leads/sales? Do I have to configure the google account anywhere? Any advice would be much appreciated - I'm a complete novice at this.



    (LEAD Code)
    -------------------------------------------------
    <!-- Google Code for LEAD Conversion Page -->
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    var google_conversion_id = 1060853347;
    var google_conversion_language = "en_GB";
    var google_conversion_format = "1";
    var google_conversion_color = "FFFFFF";
    if (1) {
    var google_conversion_value = 1;
    }
    var google_conversion_label = "lead";
    //-->
    </script>
    <script language="JavaScript"
    src="http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js">
    </script>



    (SALE Code)
    -------------------------------------------------
    <!-- Google Code for SALE Conversion Page -->
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    var google_conversion_id = 1060853347;
    var google_conversion_language = "en_GB";
    var google_conversion_format = "1";
    var google_conversion_color = "FFFFFF";

    var google_conversion_value = <%=iTotal%>;

    var google_conversion_label = "purchase";
    //-->
    </script>
    <script language="JavaScript"
    src="http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js">
    </script>

    Your procedure is correct, you can use the following values for google_conversion_label var:

    'purchase', 'lead', 'signup', 'pageview' e
    'default'

    All of them should be count (in different columns) for report purposes.

    Could you please provide a better image? your image is so small.

    hmmm...

    I think that here is the problem...

    it shouldn't be "purchase" instead of "sale" ?

    Edit: I made a mistake in my original post - I am using the word PURCHASE and NOT 'sale'. So that isn't the problem.

    Sorry for the small image, the forums seem to resize png (but not jpg!) files over 700px wide. I will try to attach another.

    Ok, so now that I'm at home I have the actual code I am using as well as a better screenshot.

    Is this something to do with the google_conversion_format ?? It is set to 1 on both enquiry and booking confirmation pages.

    I can't find anywhere that describes the different values, please advise!
